Col. John Fortunato with the Sheriff's Office said an arrest warrant was issued for Flugence, 20, in April in connection with the sexual battery of an 11-year-old in Harvey as well as this warrant for murder.

The WDSU I-Team has learned Tuesday afternoon that the car believed to be of the person of interest in connection with the disappearance of a Harvey 6-year-old has been found near the Woodmere subdivision.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office was searching a wooded area surrounding the car for Flugence.

Ahlittia's body was found in a trash can around midnight Tuesday morning, and the garbage can was searched and did not find her body Saturday and Sunday, Normand said.

Normand said Ahlittia was found in the same clothes she was reported wearing when she was reported missing, and her body was wrapped in the missing blanket.

The Jefferson Parish Coroner said the cause of death was penetrating wounds similar to that of a stabbing.

There were no obvious signs of sexual assault, according to the Coroner.

There were two aggressive stab wounds to her neck and abdomen as well as bruising to her head, shoulder, back and lower extremities, said the Coroner.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
